    _______________________________________________________

Details:

#define'ing abs is evil, in particular together with C++ when there are
methods called abs or there is abs polymorphism.

Same for labs.

The patch provides proper functions (kind of) without introducing overhead.

        * include/stdlib.h (__ATTR_ALWAYS_INLINE__): New macro.
        (abs): Provide in such a way that we get a prototype.
        (labs): Same.
